Kids say they can beat age checks by drawing on a fake mustache

46% say age checks are easy to bypass, and nearly a third admit getting around them

It’s been months since the UK government began requiring stronger age checks under the Online Safety Act, and recent research suggests those measures are falling short of keeping kids away from harmful content. In some cases, even drawing on a mustache has been reported as enough to fool age detection software.…

Anthropic, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman would each invest about $300 million, while Goldman would contribute around $150 million.

Judge ‘disturbed’ over ‘legally deficient’ treatment of Trump gala shooting suspect

Cole Allen was isolated from other inmates, denied a Bible and placed on suicide watch despite showing no suicidal tendencies

A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible.

The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history.

New Banksy: Blinded by Nationalism

The artist Banksy has installed (without a permit, one assumes) a new statue in London that depicts a man in a suit marching off off a ledge, blinded by a flag.

The artwork has been dubbed Blind Patriotism, although Banksy, enigmatic as always, doesn’t explain the meaning of his latest work. However, many have interpreted it as satirising the rise of nationalistic fervour in the UK, typified by the populist politician Nigel Farage and other forces on the far right.

Another bullseye for Banksy. 🎯

Brussel aan lidstaten: neem alleen gerichte energiemaatregelen

BRUSSEL (ANP) - EU-lidstaten moeten voorlopig vasthouden aan tijdelijke, gerichte maatregelen met een beperkte financiële impact in antwoord op de energiecrisis. Dat heeft Eurocommissaris Valdis Dombrovskis ( Economie) de ministers van Financiën maandag op het hart gedrukt. Die waren in Brussel bijeen om onder meer over de economische gevolgen van de oorlog in Iran te spreken, waaronder de gestegen energieprijzen.

Ook vertegenwoordigers van het IMF die bij de bijeenkomst waren waarschuwden voor elektriciteitssubsidies en subsidies op brandstof, zei voorzitter van de Eurogroep Kyriakos Pierrakakis in een afsluitende persconferentie. Vooral de rijkste huishoudens profiteren daarvan, terwijl de kwetsbare huishoudens een financiële tegemoetkoming harder nodig hebben, hoorden de ministers van Financiën van het IMF.

"Dit verplicht ons tot voorzichtig handelen, met goed doordachte en gerichte beleidsmaatregelen", zei Pierrakakis.


Wall Street sluit lager, eBay omhoog na megabod van GameStop

NEW YORK (ANP) - De Amerikaanse aandelenmarkten zijn maandag in het rood geëindigd door oplaaiend geweld in het Midden-Oosten. Beleggers deden een stap terug na een explosie op een Zuid-Koreaans schip in de Straat van Hormuz. Daarnaast meldden de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten raketten vanuit Iran te hebben onderschept. Dat dreef de olieprijzen stevig op.

eBay stond maandag in de schijnwerpers nadat GameStop een bod van bijna 56 miljard dollar uitbracht op de onlinemarktplaats. Het veel kleinere GameStop wil van eBay een concurrent maken voor webwinkelconcern Amazon. Het aandeel eBay steeg ruim 5 procent. Het bod vertegenwoordigt een premie van ongeveer 20 procent ten opzichte van de slotkoers van vrijdag. GameStop daalde dik 10 procent.

De Dow-Jonesindex eindigde de eerste handelsdag van de week met een verlies van 1,1 procent op 48.941,90 punten. De breder samengestelde S&P 500-index verloor 0,4 procent op 7200,75 punten en techgraadmeter Nasdaq ging 0,2 procent omlaag tot 25.067,80 punten.
